Alice in Wonderland, a fairytale adored by people of all age groups was back in action last Friday, going through her adventures in a world of fantasy. Presented by the Deanna School of Dancing, the concert comprised of students in both the junior and the senior school and was produced and choreographed by Natasha and Natalie Jayasuriya.

As Alice fell through the rabbit hole, it’s entire set of characters came alive including the Cheshire cat, Dodo, Dormouse, Duchess, Duck, The Hatter, Caterpillar, The King of Hearts, The Knave of Hearts and several other characters filling the stage with different dance moves and vibrant colours.
